Products & solutions

Combining the best.

Our success? Our guiding principle: Always combining the best.
We are only satisfied when we supply our customers in all areas of the company with the best components:

Whether it be the selection of raw materials, the design of our products, the configuration of production processes, the hiring of new employees or the selection of partner companies.
We do not compromise.

Natural product for high-tech solutions.

ARCOLOR has taken traditional knowledge of the natural material casein as a binder, developed it further and combined it with innovative high-tech solutions for most demanding printing requirements.

Our printing inks are water-based and practically solvent-free. Wherever possible, they are made from organic pigments and natural binders.

By using state-of-the-art high-tech production processes, our products are consistent with the environment and economic efficiency of the company.

Ink production with
state-of-the-art technology.

ARCOLOR produces its products in line with highest quality, ecological and ergonomic standards. We are synonymous with constant quality at a very high level, so that our customers can rely on us at any time.

This is made possible by a stringent quality policy. All our process steps, from raw materials to finished products, are tested against very strict quality criteria using the latest measuring equipment. Continuously investing in state-of-the-art production technologies and a high degree of automation reduces quality fluctuations to a minimum. We react quickly and flexibly to various requirements, ranging from 25 kg deliveries right up to tanker deliveries. We make the impossible possible.
